There are plenty of packages within portage which have no longer been |
| 2 |
maintained for just as long as xmms (see cgoban for an example). It seems |
| 3 |
that this is a rather silly choice of packages to single out. It seems to |
| 4 |
me that xmms can live a perfectly natural life within portage so long as it |
| 5 |
is no longer included by default with the Xorg package. Granted, I have |
| 6 |
absolutely zero sway with anyone who matters within the gentoo community, |
| 7 |
but personally I would prefer to see it remain. |

*crosses fingers that cgoban remains, even though it is no longer under |
| 11 |
development.* |
